Localisation Services
Website Localisation Services
Our website localization services go beyond providing excellent quality translations. We work with our clients to streamline the content production process, either by connecting to their CMS or by using our web proxy service to capture any new content produced in the source language and automatically upload new translated content. We ensure multilingual websites are tested by in-country language experts to ensure the best user experience, while we evaluate the feasibility of automating the website localization workflow to reduce time to market and cost of the updates. Our team will also help delivering multilingual marketplaces and e-commerce platforms, integrating with SmartMATE and its capabilities in machine translation together with language expertise.
Software Localisation Services
Our software localization team understands the complexities of being part of the software product team, even more as many of our clients will be using agile development models, where localization is happening in parallel with the development cycles. This means our software localizers are prepared to be delivering strings on a constant flow, while running testing cycles or reporting language bugs to the developers.
In recent years, we have also seen very successful machine translation integrations to produce multilingual software and our team has the expertise to support customers at evaluation, implementation and post-editing stages.
e-Learning Localisation Services
- Protection of source text structure throughout the translation workflow, for accuracy and productivity
- Use of tools for compatibility with your authoring environment and e-Learning tools, including Storyline, Lectora and Captivate as well as bespoke systems and applications
- Professional recording and integration of audiovisual and voiceover – in any language
- Use of translation memory tools – for consistency and cost benefits
Transcreation Services
Our transcreation services ensure that the intended impact and emotion of your message is not lost in translation, and that the original intent, style and tone are maintained. Translation stays faithful to the source text while Transcreation is an art that customises the material for your target audience.
The transcreation team works with the customer on developing briefs that are shared with our transcreators to work on multiple suggestions that are, on many occasions supported, by back translations so that our customer can have a better context to the proposed solution.
Triaging between marketing translation and transcreation is critical to the success of a multilingual marketing campaign, and our team of experts will suggest the best route for each type of content.
Copywriting Services
Our copywriting service is a great extension of our multilingual SEO and website localisation offering. In recent years, search engines such as Google have put great emphasis on websites keeping their content fresh and reliant, something many companies struggle to find the time for.
Not only does our copywriting service alleviate time restraints of compiling this copy yourselves, it generates unique copy in a language that you are unfamiliar with. We do not need to work from a pre-written source file. The aim is to write a completely original piece in the target language.
If you’re looking to write an original article for your foreign market, why not have a native multilingual copywriter work on it?
Transcription Services
- Basic Same Language Transcription. Consists of transcribing the source text only.
- Standard Translated Transcription. Consists of translating and transcribing in one step, only the target language will be transcribed.
- Source and Target Transcription. Consists both of the above.
Post Editing Machine Translation Services
The adoption of machine translation technology as part of the translation workflow has driven a new requirement to ensure that there is no deterioration on the quality of the output of the final translated content.
Our post editors are trained to evaluate machine translation output, which is very different from translating or even proofreading another translator’s work.
To make sure the machine translation investment reverts a return, the post editor needs to measure the effort required to edit a machine translated content versus translating, as well as being technically savvy to ensure it utilises the technology to its best.
Over the past 5 years, we have integrated machine translation and post edited over 60% of the work we have produced for our technical customers.
